Firing/Changing/Switching Lawyers in Middle of a Car Accident

If you have been in a car accident in Miami and have retained the services of a local attorney in order to help you recover fair compensation for your injuries, you have hopefully done your research and chosen the correct attorney. Unfortunately, in the trauma surrounding a traffic accident, some victims in Miami are so upset by the accident that they hire the first attorney that is recommended or suggested to them, without doing research up front. In some cases, this results in a poor relationship and victims eventually decide that they wish to have another attorney represent them. Whether this is plausible will depend on the specific situation as well as how far the case has progressed.

There are many reasons why you may wish to fire your attorney. You may be having a hard time contacting your attorney or you may feel that there is not enough progress on your case. Your attorney may not have explained the strategy that he or she will be using in your car accident case in Miami. You may also be frustrated by a low compensation amount - perhaps lower than you had anticipated. In some cases, attorneys themselves withdraw from a car accident claim due to unforeseen problems, such as conflict of interest and other issues.

The best way to prevent this unfortunate situation is simply to do your research before hiring a personal injury attorney in Miami. When looking to hire an attorney, don't simply call the first number in the Yellow Pages. Take the time to actually compare different attorneys, get recommendations, and research practice areas. You will want an attorney that you feel comfortable with and an attorney who has extensive experience with a range of traffic accident cases similar to yours. Look for an attorney in Miami, since a local attorney is more likely to know about local resources that can help you and is likely more familiar with the local justice system and local judges.

Whether it is possible or likely to switch attorneys in the middle of your car accident claim will depend on a number of factors. For example, if there is still no offer made, it will be easier to switch attorneys. In this situation, you can often switch attorneys and if you reach an out-of-court settlement or when your case is won in court your original attorney will be paid for the work they have already contributed to your case. If there is already an offer on the table but you feel that the offer is too low, your case may be more complicated. Your best bet is to contact a personal injury attorney for a second opinion and to find out about the possibility of hiring another attorney. If you are struggling in your car accident case, contact the Flaxman Law Group legal team to get a legal opinion.
